Complex 13 LOX storage and transfer facility |
 |
Atlas vehicles used RP-1 (kerosene) as fuel, and LOX (liquid oxygen) as an oxidizer. The facility above
served as an area to receive LOX from tanker trucks, store it, and transfer it to the launch vehicle. The tanks
that were used to store the LOX are no longer here, but the structure remains along with
some piping, valves, and electrical boxes.
Areas for the transfer of nitrogen and helium used to be
next to the LOX facility, but are no longer there. Fuel was stored and transferred in a similar facility on the opposite side
of the launch stand.
